Hey, Steph, a friend of mine does a bunch of freelance editing and I mentioned one of my invisible Internet friends did, too. Anyway, she said if you were interested she'd like to network. I think she gets asked to work on medical/sciencey journals that aren't quite her thing. Anyway, if you'd like me to put you in touch with her, hit me up via my profile addy. I'm heading bedward now, but I'll check tomorrow.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Earthquake. Apparently 4.1 near Yountville. Felt like someone shaking the couch, if the couch was on stilts or something. Weird.
My Quakes app appears to be entirely useless, all it does it tell me it failed to register for remote push notifications.

Yeah, not bad. I can't find any news about damage in Yountville, so hopefully they are all okay up there.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Jeopardy just taught me that "oculogyric" refers to rolling your eyes
Can we verb that? oculogyring?

Funny, -t, I felt nothing. Ah, well, I am significantly SW of you.

Tomorrow is my day off and I am: going running; attending a work telecon for a project I just inherited and know almost nothing about (sigh); signing the contract for my kitchen to get remodeled; getting my hair cut; GETTING A MASSAGE YAY.
Somewhere in there I will have to get lunch.
Today on the way home I stopped at the chichi new wine bar near my office and had a glass of wine and some bruschetta, which was yummy. And fairly cheap, as it was happy hour.
I have the new Naomi Novik novel on my Kindle.
Things could be worse.

There really shouldn't be HIPAA issues if everything is within Kaiser. Or cross platform issues, one would think, but who knows what kind of standards they have for that.
Cross platform would apply to a solution developed by a 3rd party, but any solution used, even if it is developed in-house, has to comply with HIPAA security standards, which are strict as hell for good reason. It's incredibly expensive, complex, and has more moving pieces than you can shake a stick at.
When I say rocket science would be simpler, I am not kidding. I get to hear about the pain points re: developing solutions in this space a lot.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Remote push notifications are kind of its core responsibility. You had ONE JOB, Quakes!

I can has temporary kitten! Little black sneezy yowly poopy kitten.
Also, a car with a caved-in back door. :( Dude rear-ended me (I was stopped...he was...not) with his work pickup truck, so it hit the spare tire that is in the middle of the back of the car (it's a mini-SUV) and it just sorta caved the whole thing in a bit. It seems to still open and close some. His car was worse off (leaking some fluid, the front bumper almost off, the hood bent). But I figure it will be awfully expensive to fix (replace?) the back door of my car. Anyone have experience with this kind of thing? How does this go? I have never actually had an accident where my car was more than marginally dinged (...there are a ton of dings and bumps on my car, but some are me running into a pole, or my garage, or one big dent in the passenger door that happened mysteriously back when I was parking on a DC street). The car is only worth maybe $4K?
